I’m Not Ashamed to Own My Lord

I’m not ashamed to own my Lord

Or to de­fend His cause;

Maintain the hon­or of His Word

The glo­ry of His cross.

Jesus

my God! I know His name

His name is all my trust;

Nor will He put my soul to shame

Nor let my hope be lost.

Firm as His throne His pro­mise stands

And He can well se­cure

What I’ve com­mit­ted to His hands

Till the de­cis­ive hour.

Then will He own my worth­less name

Before His Fa­ther’s face

And in the new Je­ru­sa­lem

Appoint my soul a place.
